There is increasing evidence that changes
in dietary habits (Dai et al ), physical exercise (Rolland
et al ) and cognitive training (Willis et al ) can
positively influence the health of seniors and possibly delay
the onset of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). A multinational
prospective study is required to prove a primary preventive
effect and instruments are being developed and validated that
will make such a study possible (Ferris et al ).
